Testimonies of Healing

Some years ago a growth appeared on my abdomen. I didn’t pay any attention to it until it became inflamed and painful.

Sitting stiffly on the edge of my couch, I was praying to find relief from intense internal pain. But as the night progressed, the problem worsened.

In the spring of 2019 my husband passed on. This was rather sudden, and it marked the beginning of a very significant lesson and healing for me over nearly three years.

By the time our son was about a year old, he occasionally exhibited troubling behavior. After falling asleep in his crib at night, he would wildly cry out.

A few years ago, I had a painful condition in the upper part of my mouth. At first, I thought it might be an allergic reaction.

One fine midmorning not too long ago, I sat down on the couch to enjoy some quiet time before lunch. As I was resting there, I watched a bee enter my room through the small gap at the bottom of the door.

The isolation of the lockdown imposed upon us during the recent pandemic was a blessing for me. It gave me time alone, away from the unwelcome stress I experienced when going to work, or even to the grocery store.

Several years ago, I experienced three episodes of heart attack symptoms over a six-month period. The first was at home with my three college-age children.

In my early 20s I noticed that my vision had started to deteriorate. It didn’t interfere too much with my regular activities, so I didn’t treat it in Christian Science.

As a child I went to Sunday School, so the teachings of Christian Science were always very familiar to me. As a young adult I considered myself a Christian Scientist, even if I wasn’t very active in practicing it.
